Hello and welcome to Premiere Gal. Here on this channel you'll find everything you
need to know about creating better video and photography I create tutorials in
Premiere Pro, After Effects, Photoshop, even Audition, and I do some gear reviews
and camera technique videos so if you're new here I'd encourage you to subscribe
and hit that notification bell so you're notified when I publish new tutorials
every week. In this video tutorial you're going to learn how to add motion to your
photos to create unique and stylish slideshows. So the first step is to
create a sequence. I'm going to make my sequence 1080 by 1920 30 frames per
second and I'm going to give it a name called slideshow. Now drag your first
photo into your timeline. Using the effect controls position and scale the
image until it looks best in the frame then go to effects and search for
Gaussian blur and double click to apply this effect to the image in your
timeline and from effect controls you can increase the blurriness to give it
more of an artistic blurry look. Now let's create a second sequence and let's
use the same dimensions as last and let's call this "photo 1" this is where
we're going to build it the Polaroid look from the essential graphics panel
use the rectangle tool to draw the Polaroid frame and you can change the
color fill to be any color that you want then I'm going to use a handwriting font
called Desyrel. It's a free font that I downloaded from font squirrel and here
you can type in a caption it can be anything that you want and
I'll move it into place and then Center it horizontally in the frame. Let's now
go to the six second marker just by typing in six seconds into the time code
here and then let's expand this graphic layer out to meet the six second
timecode marker I'm only doing this because I want to be able to have six
seconds to work with for each photo in the slideshow sequence which you will
see in just a few minutes now drag the same photo we dropped into the previous
sequence into this photo one sequence on top and let's make the layer the same
length as the graphic layer below then go to effects and search for crop and
drag and drop it on to the photo clip now from effect controls you can
position and scale the image into the frame as you like and then using the
crop tools just below that you can crop the top the left the right or even the
bottom of this image until it fits within our Polaroid frame right now
although this is black it's actually a transparent background and to show the
transparency go to the wrench tool from the program window here and turn on the
transparency grid and now you can see that it's actually transparent to give
it more dimension let's add a shadow to the graphic layer from effects let's
search for a radial shadow and here you can drop it onto the graphics layer and
you can move the circle target here in the program window this actually adjusts
the light source of the radial shadow so I'm going to move it to the left and you
can see that this casts the shadow off to the right then you can adjust the
shadow color the opacity distance or the softness of the shadow I'll set my
distance to about two and a softness to 20 and I like the opacity at 50% so now
we have our first complete Polaroid photo look and all of the photos that
I'm using in this tutorial are from Envato elements for just $19 per month
you can get unlimited design photo and web assets and coming soon there will
also be stock video After Effects and Premiere Pro templates within the
advaita elements library you can still purchase individual assets
and vowed to market if you want but Envato elements is just the alternative
subscription model so you can pay less per month for unlimited assets and I'll
put a link to involve two elements below now here is where we will nest the first
photo into the slideshow sequence we created from the project panel drag this
photo sequence on top of the first photo background and make it the same length
as the background layer below now this is the fun part it's where we're going
to add the motion to the image since I like the Polaroid to seem a little off
rotation I'll set the rotation of this Polaroid to be about seven from the
effect controls panel then I'll make the scale 90 so it fits better in frame so
this is the exact location I want the Polaroid to end up at so now we need to
set keyframes to create the animation let's pull the CTI here to about one
second end and let's hit the toggle animation button to set a keyframe to
the position the scale and the rotation of the photo then let's pull the CTI
back to the beginning let's rotate the image a bit to create some rotation
movement over time then select the motion tab here and this will activate
transform tools around the image in the program panel now you can use your
selection tool to pull it up off frame at the top and then lastly you can
reduce the scale to zero so now when we play this back it goes
from small to big it rotates slightly and it moves from up to down and it ends
on the point which we wanted to have a scale of 90 and a rotation of seven so
to make this smoother let's select the last three keyframes here right click
and select temporal interpolation and ease in and what this will do when we
play it back you can see that the photo eases into position much better than it
did before and if you want the animation to be faster simply lasso and select the
last keyframes again and just move them to be closer to the first set of
keyframes now if we play it back it's faster and if you want the animation to
be slower it just lasso and select them again
move them to be farther apart and for the animation out it's just the same
thing but at the end just move the CTI here near the end of the clip and hit
the keyframe buttons here on position scale and rotation this will set the
start point then move the CTI to the very end of this image clip and we can
rotate it again and move it down off-screen this time at the bottom and
scale it back down to zero now when we play it back you have this dynamic
movement from beginning to end from top to bottom and it's up to you to decide
where you want these images to come in from so from left to right or up or down
or diagonally so I'll do one more photo here again just to illustrate a
left-to-right movement and you can do this to as many different photos as you
want and the reason why I can't copy and paste these keyframes is because each
image has its own unique size if all of your images were the exact same then you
can do that but I say it's better to have unique photo animation so you're
not repeating the same animation over and over again alright so let's drop in
our second photo from Envato elements into this main sequence template as a
background let's right click on our first background photo and copy then
let's right-click on this new background photo and let's paste the attributes in
here in this new window you just want to make sure that you're pasting the
Gaussian blur alright then from the project panel
let's right click on photo 1 sequence and let's duplicate it and let's rename
it to photo 2 now double click to open up this photo to sequence and let's
delete the current photo here because that's the photo from the first photo 1
now drop in our second photo from the project panel and from effects search
for a crop and apply the crop effect to this photo just like before and you can
use a crop tool to crop it on the left right top or bottom all depending on
what you need until it fits within our Polaroid frame and using the type tool
you can edit your caption as well now you can drag in the photo to sequence on
top of the photo background here in the slideshow sequence and just like we did
before you're going to use the most controls to animate this photo this time
let's make it a rotation of minus 6 so it tilts in the opposite way as the
first photo and let's reduce the scale to 90 now move the CTI to one second N
and let's toggle animation on position scale and rotation and then let's pull
back the CTI to the beginning let's rotate the image a bit and let's select
motion and move the image off to the left this time and let's also scale it
down to zero now it moves from left to right over time and rotates into place
and again let's allow so the second set of keyframes and make these keyframes ease in
so it's more smooth while we're at it let's quickly set out animation so
move the CT iho when you want the out animation to begin and let's hit the
keyframe buttons and then let's rotate the image move the image all the way
off-screen to the right and scale it back down to zero so now we have our
animation set but to make the transition between the background images more
smooth let's right-click between the two background images in the timeline and
let's select the default transition cross-dissolve
and you can see that it applied across dissolve transition you can also zoom in
to your timeline and adjust the transition duration to make the cross
dissolve longer or shorter I personally like it when it's more gradual you will
see we have a basic little Polaroid slideshow and you can repeat this
process for as many photos as you like to top it off of course you can add in
some production create lens flares on top of the slideshow to give it more
dynamism but that's completely optional if you have any questions at all don't
